Oh, and my passport is due to be renewed soon too. A quick check shows it is in May!

My neighbour is in the process of selling his motorbike because DVLA "lost" his entitlement. Their resposne was for him to retake his test or prove he had passed it. The latter is a bit difficult as he passed in the 1970's and sent them the pass certificate at the time to update his licence.

Getting on a bit now he has decided to go for one of teh Piaggio (I think) three wheelers with the wider front track than means he can ride it on his car licence!

I took a copy of mine before sending it back but also have one that I lost, then found, as further proof. (I know I was meant to send it back once I found it :pokefun )

It cost £24:50 doing it through the post office so not too bad if you have to get photos done as the photo is included in teh cost.

Well, having spent a couple of hours with GarethG stripping, cleaning and adjusting the carb again, the pronosis was that it was fecced. No matter how much we adjusted the air screw, it made fec all difference to the way that the bike ran. Located another carb on fleebay and have just had a productive 30 minutes in the garage fitting the repalcement and all the panels and it is now ready for its MOT in the morning!

Just hope it passes now as I dont have much time between now and his birthday to sort anything out and I haven't even had the chance to ride it yet due to it not having an MOT or Tax.

My photocard was due to expire in a couple of weeks so I used the Post Office service to renew it on Monday and then went away for work for a few days.
When I got home last night my replacement licence had arrived! Not only that, but they managed to keep all the groups on there that I had before too!

Can you make the steps wider? If so, just make a cement ramp on the extension part.

IIRC, there is no Dynojet kit for the FZS but a K&N with a non-standard exhaust makes a big difference to the power characteristics of the 600cc engine.

Some of the toys you can get are Digi-Gear indicator (OK if you cannot count), differnt screens to give different wind buffeting, loud exhausts, heated grips, panniers and boxes, crash bungs, lower fairings, belly pans, anodised bolt kits, scottoilers, different gearing through changing the sprokets, custom seats, etc etc etc.

Aren't bennets just brokers though?

I had issues in the past with one of the brokers that insited that the bike could not be left outside the house at all even to dry off after being washed in the middle of the day. They got told to foc off too!

Mik, you need to explain to teh wife that the gun was there before she was :pokefun

I have a Berreta Semi-Auto but have also got a few others on my licence and in my cabinet including an old Arglye Company single barrel job that now belongs to my 16yr old son!

Dont get out anywhere near enough due to work and kids rugby. Same reason as the bike doesnt get used really.

Back to the shirts...... The big question Looney is why are you asking this? Your Mrs should be the one worrying about it not you :pokefun

Failing that, stick them in teh tumble drier to dry and hang them up straight from there. I have been told by others that this works.

No idea when promotions occur but there used to be a post on the old forum that explained it all.

I know a bloke from work who was diagnosed and "lost one" as a result. Since then he has gone on to have two kids the normal way.

That tarmac looked like an ice rink when it was wet. No wonder they claimed stopping distances were so long in the wet when they wrote the Highway Code!

Do a speedtest on your web connection first. It may be your broad band playing up.

Carb seems ok with clean jets and tubes. Air box is clear. Choke is the plunger type on the carb that increases mix rather than blocking air.

Looking on the intetweb it looks like a common problem but no real answers.

I may have to try getting it hour rather than "quite warm" before tinkering too much then. I take it you are falling about a YBR125 kebab?

I think I will end up tweaking with the carb screws. I have tried the no air filter route already.

I have a YBR125 that has stood for a few years since the last owner had a car/bike interface issue. I have rebuilt most of it now ready for my son when he turns 17 in just over a months time but I have a problem with the way it runs.
 
It will start on the button using the choke, and once it warms up (but not before) it will rev OK but it wont idle or start when off of choke.
Using the theory that it was running OK before the previous owner bent a few bits, I suspect that the carb settigns are OK and there would just be crud in the idle jet from where it has been standing. Unfortunately, despite cleaning the jets out with an air line, it still has the problem.

Trev, use PowerPoint and get the individual charachters in indivdual text boxes how you want them then move them together and use the "send to back" function.

Take a screen print (Print Scrn button) and paste it into MS Paint then just cut out the bit you want for the logo. Thats how I did it.

Its basic, but it works.

I did that in Powerpoint.

If you create what you want in there, you can get it into a jpg (or send it to me and I can do it) easily enough.
